Veeam VMware Collector

The Collector server is a Windows-based physical or virtual machine on which the Veeam VMware Collector component is installed. The Collector agentlessly gathers data from VMware systems, and re-publishes the data to the Operations Manager.

Before you install the Collector, make sure the machine where the Veeam VMware Collector component will be deployed meets the following system requirements:

Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the operating systems are supported.

NoteS:

One Collector server can process data for 500–1000 virtual machines. If you need to monitor larger VMware environments, first check scalability considerations provided in section Determining Number of Collectors Required.

To achieve best performance and scalability, install the Veeam VMware Collector component on an Ops Mgr Management Server.
